... Some merchants such as SweetGreen, a salad chain, refuse to open their registers for cash, telling customers they can pay only with mobile payments or cards. With some newer vending machines, only a card or mobile wallet will get that cold Coca-Cola to roll down the chute.

I wish I could find one of these outfits here.

The resulting lawsuit means I would own the business.

But is there a debt before there is a transaction?

This is a violation of my Civil Rights.

For over twenty years I have self-identified as an Unbanked American.

This constitutes a refusal of public accommodation to me and is causing me great emotional and financial stress and hardship.

Punitive damages are also in order.

See prior post. It’s only legal tender for DEBTS. They can say they only take silver or for that matter gold (the contract clause ban has quietly expired I believe) and they’re good as long as a debt hasn’t been incurred.

The closest one to me is 1500 miles away or I’d do the same.

No, the resulting lawsuit would mean they own your house because you’d lose. They don’t have to take cash. It’s legal, but it’s not mandatory.
